KIDS HEART CHALLENGE
Grades K-5 participated in our annual American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge again this year. All of the funds raised were donated to the AHA to fight heart disease, to fund life-saving research, and to share educational materials.
This year we had 21 students participate and raise $1502.33!
Our top three fundraisers were in kindergarten! Ivan Rains $132.08, Adrienne Cox $203.38 & Jaycee Kuhlman $611.05! (see their picture below!)
This a great philanthropy project; the school receives PE equipment and educational materials to teach students about heart disease, prevention, and nutrition.
Thank you for your support!

THANK YOU TO THE WEST HARRISON BOOSTER CLUB
I would like to thank the West Harrison Booster Club (Tara Rife, Jan Evans, Keri King, Jason and Jami Sherer, Nikki Melby, Gina Birdsall, and Kim Rife) for supporting our elementary P.E. program. With their help, we were able to rent roller skates for K-5 P.E. again this year. Our roller skating unit lasted three weeks in the month of February. This unit is one of the students’ favorites and it is something they look forward to every year.
The fifth and seventh grade P.E. classes helped the kindergarten and first grade learn how to roller skate the first two times they put skates on. It is always a prideful time to watch these students interact in the two separate thirty-minute sessions they have together. The growth in the younger students during this time is amazing!
Please thank the WH Booster Club members when you see them, without their support this unit would not be possible.
Thank you again for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated.

Save your Family Fare receipts! We’re raising money to be used for items or special projects in classrooms through Direct Your Dollars
Direct Your Dollars is a receipt-based program, meaning that we can raise money simply by doing something we all do each week – going to the grocery store.
Every time you shop at your local Family Fare store, save your receipts – and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Once we’ve collected $150,000 in receipts from these stores, we can turn those slips of paper into a $1,000 check for West Harrison Community School!
To reach our goal of $150,000 in receipts, we’ll be collecting eligible receipts in our Direct Your Dollars box. The box has the DYD logo on it, and it’s located in both offices in our building. Please make sure you drop off the original receipt – that’s how we earn our $1,000 check.
If you aren’t able to drop your receipts off in person, you can also mail them to the school address 410 Pine Street, Mondamin, Iowa 51557
Through the Direct Your Dollars program, we can turn YOUR Family Fare receipts into cash.
